As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.
Clear contact, clearly not legal and player has gone down - ref had a clear view so it's either a pen or a dive, it has to be. Shitout prick.
They are a bunch of dirty wankers, they've put in a number of tackles from behind and after Cahill dived in on Rosicky that was a typically scummy dirty cowardly tackle. Makes it all the more frustrating that we're scared of them.
Fucking slaphead *word censored*. Don't usually buy into the idea of bent refs in this country anyway but there's something seriously wrong about him. If Wenger said something about his constant disgraceful performances in our games I'd be right behind him which is a rarity

In this instance I'd agree. Its not just the decisions he makes....look at his facial expressions when he addresses our players. He has complete contempt for them. Often you'll get a ref who pauses for thought over a key decisions but he's mouthing 'no penalty' to our players a split second after the event occurs
Giroud and ozil are anonymous whilst ramsey has been poor
credit to rosicky, he always tries to inject tempo into our game when he plays but all those around him slow it down again - arteta does try to speed the game up but his passes aren't hit with any real power so are slow getting to their intended target
Bad first half, lucky not to be 1 down, no chances at all, Dean doing his best to us.
Rosicky tries to be Flam, motivating others, well played Tomas
Still a point is way better for us than them, but I don't see it staying like this until the end.

Has been one of the worst games of football this season thanks to a combination of the weather, their tactics and our lack of creativity.
I'm not banging on for the sake of negativity but this does have 1-0 or 2-0 Chavs written all over it. Warning signs have been there with Lampard hitting the bar and that breakaway from Ramsey's nostalgic brainfart.

I had the feeling that if that was at the other end, he'd award a penalty straight away!

The second half will tell us whether the conditions were against us or if indeed its another limpdick effort against Chavski

In contrast he has tapped about four chav *word censored* on the back while having a laugh with them.
If he had had these type of performances against fergie he would now be reffing matches in a gulag in Siberia
This is a tactician's wet dream but a fucking dire match. Maureen has set up to hit us on the counter and kick the shit out of us and surpise surprise, Mike Dean is letting them get away with it.
Mike Dean is a bent ref, Mikel should have walked and if it wasn't a pen, why wasn't Willian booked?
Still, we can't rely on the ref giving us anything but we haven't shown enough nous to break these spoilers down.
